iSecure: Developing Predictable and Secure IoT for Autonomous Systems

Purpose and goal:

iSecure proposed solution consists of designing and developing an architecture towards secure digital platforms ensuring guarantees on short-latency, privacy and security of data. Expected results and effects: iSecure will achieve the following outcomes:

O1. A secure edge-cloud architecture with dynamic and time-predictable communication for IoT systems in industrial environments. O2. A confidential data sharing platform for devices, systems and services. O3. Proof-of-concept implementations in two use cases namely autonomous airport and harbour. O4. Commercialization of the secure, data sharing platform in relevant industrial contexts in Sweden and abroad.

Approach and implementation: The iSecure project is structured into five work packages.

In iSecure, we will employ a comprehensive research methodology inspired by the Design Science Methodology for software engineering. We will achieve our objectives by iterating through four main phases - theoretical solution, formalization, prototyping, and evaluation - in a cycle-based approach. To evaluate our approaches and demonstrators, the two use cases will be used.
